Good, but
First I was given a handicap room, so I requested another one. Then I was given another room that smelled and had some receptacles hanging. To compensate for the inconvenience, I was given a suite, which was really nice, only the desk chair was dirty and the towels had hair from previous guests. I still appreciated the gesture.
